But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.

Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;

Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?

Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!

Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.

So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.

Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.

And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.

Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.
